Ya can't beat a bit of Bully!

Did you ever watch Bullseye? Well before my time but always enjoyed watching repeats of it since I was a younger fella.

Love Jim Bowen and the supposed letters they got in and the (sometimes rubbish) jokes told at the beginning.
Also loved the brilliant voice of Tony Green telling the thrower "nice and easy now, take your time".

Any other fond memories? I didn't want to spoil them all in the OP!

What it is?

Blah, blah, blah, speedboat.

One of the best quiz shows ever made. Two shy unemployed miners from Newcastle being told ‘here’s what you could have won’ before the screen was pulled back and a speed boat was rolled out.

Bowen was great, the questions were tough, and the darts bit made it.

Lets take a look at what ya could have won....

Cue the worst prizes in the history of telly. A microwave, a Hoover, a lamp etc etc. Probanly would have cost a bit in those days tbf.

Are you going to take the money or gamble?

Well we've had a great day Jim, so we're gonna take the money.

Also too young to remember it at the time but watched the repeats on Challenge as a young lad

I'd say 90% of all episodes this was said!

Was a bit before my time but I regularly watch it now on challenge. Great show and love trying the 101 or more in 6 darts challenge at home!

Nothing in this game for two in a bed.

At least you'd still get your BFH...

And quite unsettling the murderer who appeared on the show

The "star" dart player throwing for charity sometimes left a lot to the imagination, Jim used really get into the whole thing, especially when the contestants were throwing for 101 at the end.

I'm in my late 30s now but I remember it used be on after "The match" on ITV on a Sunday evening.

Very fond memories of watching this back in the early to mid ninety´s although I much preferred the repeats after they changed the opening titles which looked terrible compared to the original, lost some of its charm after they tried to go all up market.

Surely in the era of everything being remade and darts being so popular there’s some TV executive out there pitching it to ITV.

They remade it for a while with Dave Spikey but it was poor.

Should be left be with Jim Bowen sadly gone and Tony Green not in the best of health either I think.

I don't know how true this is (And come to think of it I most likely could answer this if I just googled it) but I "knew a guy who knows a guy" who worked on bullseye back in the day and he maintained that the reason you didn't know what the star prize was they had a good deal on speed boats so of the contestants lost they'd pull the car or whatever out and if they won they got the speedboat.

Was a great show. Dave Spikey version was a travesty

One undred and eighty!!!

Use to love the show. My parents use to play when they were younger but I'm crap at it. Its played in my local a lot.

I remember watching the real darts when I was a kid! It was much more raw with the medallion men and their ott jewellery. The best part was the wives reactions in the background!

Favourite bit watching it nowadays is the way Jim produces (used to i guess) a wad of cash from his pocket to pay out the winnings! Very much "of its time"!

Loved it as a child. Always wanted one of those Bully tankards!

a boats a boat, but a mystery box could be anything, it could even be a boat!
